Pcoiatnz to all Spaniards, .written hope that, by some good fortune, it may come into the hands of one true Spatii4ird. "'SPANIARDS " When I consider the peculiar situation of my beloved Country, deprived of the presence of its. honoured . King-and bis august family, and fostering within its bosom the envenomed viper ; and when, ou the other hand, I donsider with the most poignant grief that. there is scarcely a . Spaniard who-does , not believe me to-be the author of this fearful state, I have thought it incumbent upon me not only to apo logise for the fatal, but well-intended counsel IS'have given, but to expose before the face of an atten- Live world the tortuosity and intrigue which \preced -ced the deformed abortion which' has been so long nourished in France. " I will proclaim it, and why should I lie silent ? Why should I not draw forth the chain of the deepest and darkest perfidy. with which the Hero of the North (BUONAPARTE) has linked togethet for' the purposes of his extravagant ambition ? Whiled em ploy myself in drawing aside the veil, you will clear ly discern the vast scheme of domination of the fu rious Emperor of the FRENCH, which he has known how to conceal under the mask of honour and fidelity. " I am anxious to discover to you, minutely, the insult and tippression to which ,our beloved Mo narch, my dear foster child FERDINAND VII. has . been exposed, recolleaing also, those dark' times in, which the affairs of Spain were delivered up to the blind impulse of one who had colleaed in his own , person the most honourable distinctions of the king dom, I mean the monster of Badajos, who has be trayed his countrymen. It is idle to'repeat what is notorious to all, the shameful degradation to which our Sovereign was exposed, during which ,he has on numerous occasions poured forth his soul . Imo my bosom—poured forth all the sufferings ,his Royal and- generous heart. have - seen l idit on various occasions, and in different places, lift.up biS.ptire hands to Heaven, and ardently im plore his, Creator, that - he would open the sacred volume of truth, and - bestow upon his venerable father the inestimable:blessing of wisdom, to restore happiness to his nation. - I 'have seen him offer : himself a victim to appease the just anger of G O D fo r Our impiety, that his people might be forgiven and be' happy. " j was aftliEted at seeing the bitterness of his failferings : I observed that the mind of , his Royal Father was pre-occupied - by the artifices of flattery, which raised a wall of separation between them. I feared that this tender but fruitful vine should be lopped by brutal hands, and I took, warningfrom the immature death of the fair companion of his af fedions. So situated, my imagination could suggest , no other means than what I proposed, to accommo date the interests and. promote the happiness of my foster-child and his parents. " Establish," said I to him, " your correspond ence with the Conqueror of the North ; tell hitti that you are desirous of conneaing yourself with a Princess ofhis nation; ask his protection for the se curity of your person, whicii I have no doubt will be, conceded—for good faith is one of the brightest jewels in the crown of heroism. In this manner , form an alliance, which, rightly employed, will ad vance the welfare of both Kingdoms. Invite hiin, Sir, hither, that you may receive iron] his hands this Princess=and by such an expedient this dis jointed, Colossus may be hurled down—this public destroyer of the Monarchy may become a heap of ruins. If, Spaniards, FEttbrNAND VII. shobld Mave taken this step under the.impression that it would he disapproved by GODOY, and consequently by his parFnts, he was aware •that they would employ ci'ery resource to oppose him, and especially by obliging him to contra& another marriage, which their ruinous• policy. : had projeted, ,and which would have been destrUdive of this shameless Go- Vern meat. • " What could I not say of the various notes and letters which .were put into the. hands of the Prince, indicating such a profusion of affe6tion 'from this in famous impostor,. who . said, that .their friendship. would remove every obstacle, when the time should come when they could see .and embrace each other. The Empress and .1; said he, .‘ shall receive you, and fold you to our bosoms, and the expanded wings of the Imperial Eagle Shall, encircle you, and give you eternal proteetion."! [We cannot give thecoPy - Of the aboveletter, so extraordinary. in .its expressions, without citing.,a passage referring to it in the Corunna Journal of the , 9th of July, into which it is introduced, as well as into the St. Jago Paper :—" If," says this Journal ist, " we have copied the Letter frotn the Sr. Es- COICCUIZ, we must apprize our Readers, that we much doubt its authenticity. It ,is, perhaps, a corp , position- by some ingenious and pat:ioCe person, to expose to us the train which was laid for our ruin."] DISTRICT OF SANABRIA, JUNE r. 6 Th e mere name of Sr. CUESTA is gratifying even to the remote confines of his com.nand, but is nowhere listened to with so much enthusiasm as in the centre of Castile. The affair of the bridge at Cabezon was highly cre- ditable to him; and the orderly retreat which he made without regular troops, without artillery, with out cavalry, condu6ting his small army to Benevente by Rio Seco'and MaYorga, Without once losing sight of the enemy, has been the subje& of encotiaiinii with the most intelligent, as a bold expedient to de- ; tain the French in Valladolid, and to save the rest of Castile, which, no doubt, would have suffered all -those calamities which the people are 'accustomed' to endure whenever these. intimate allies,- and kind, friends, make their appearance. By the flight of the , French from Valladolid,.and the ins'nrreaionin - Portugal, the cities of Castile had time to breathe, which were threatened at the same moment by BESSIERES, MURAT, and JuNciT. Cindad, Rodrigo, =Salamanca, and Zamora, were thus relieved from ;I-heir difficulties. We have our enlistments ready; and the principal part of our Volunteers-are.proceed itig to Benevente ; to which place, underthe orders of the Sr.-CuEsTA, manyl oa d s o f ammun ition, sere-' ral pieces of light cannon, and tools and utensils for a campaign, are advancing. We, haVe•alleady here a 12-pounder, a 24 -pounder, and .we are, to have eight more of equal calibre, with a formidable train of culverinS, in consequence of the agreeable intelligence received from Portugal.

Another instance has lately been 'discovered of the vindictive spleen and cruel caution of BuoNATARTE: It will be recolle&ed that in' his unnatural attempt at the diiptay of clemency 'towards his rival Mo- REAU, he refrained from confiscating his-property, and Irti it at the disposal of that General's Lady. Not long . however, MoasAtis estate was sold ; a part dt the proceeds paid over to one, of his bitterest' enerriies, a favo'urite General. of the Corsican ; and the remainder placed in the French fun&, of which he is -;allowed indeed the interest, but not the power of withdrawing the capital. The Tyrant thus retain. log the means of laying his , rapacious hands en the last Aiding of his ill-fated antagonist. A teutleman arrived from Port-au-Prince, via .la 4 maica, states ; that in May the Northern and Southern arm ies in flayti, under 'the respe&ive commands of the rival, Chiefs, were engaged far four days, near 'Gro.Morn, in the department over which CHRIS TOPHE exercises authority. The result was, that Jou or CLIRISTOPHE'S party were killed, and 600 taken prisoners, and President PETION, at the head oft 6,000 men; was marching from Cape Francois. CAR'ISTOHE had made his escape from the field of battle, and was supposed to be at Fort Milo, a dis tance of five leagues from the Cape. President Pz- TroN, in April, sent Mr. TAICNEL, adcompanied by his. Secretary, with full powers to make some coin mercial arrangements with our Government. Mr. TatcxELtook his‘paasage on board the Trusty. . HOLMAN has long been in the esteem of the Dub lin audience, but some anonymous Enemy has lately assailed him with what is probably thought waggery i but has been' the subje& of much uneasiness to that performer . , and his friends. The way in which this•secret foe has vented his 'malice, has been the circulation of fictitious play-bills, calculated to deceive the public, and bring ridicule on the Per former. . Mr. COL MAN is the author of the new Play which is announced at the Haymarket Theatre. According to report it will be equal to the best of his serio comic procithions, excelletitaS they are, and to give it-a strong recommendation to the prevailing taste of the tiITIOS, it is to be, brought forward; it seems, with the utmost splendour,.. beauty, and variety of scenery; as tt ell as with the full'•strength of his • company.

Gentlemen were alkitfg on the Hoe, Plymouth, curiosity led them to see a• remarkable vein of fine sand, which has been disc.overed,in the midst pf the immense body of litnestone rock which composes that eminence; the sand is at least 50 feet above high water mark, and surrounded by the- stone. 'One of the company thrUsting his cane down -to ascertain the depth of the stratum of sand, -found it struck against some hard body, which, on taking up, proved to be oita side of the jaw of some non-descript animal ; the teeth, of which there is a double row, are each nearly two inches long, and the jaw about LB inchesi-and evidently carniverous. On searching farther, a joint of the back bone was discovered of an amazing size, being in diameter nine inches-and a quarter by four and a half deep. There is no per pendicular hole for the -spine, but three boles pass horizontally through the centre. Several other bones were found near the spot, all of which pre clude the idea of its being of a marine genus. The above'are in possession of a Medical Gentleman. at Plymotsth.

Trour the-testi. moray of the Prosecutor it appeared that he had teit the note in his pocket on .the 2d instant, when .62 was in that house. When he. went home he missed it. He returned immediately, and told the landlord and his wife that he had lost a note ,r that value in their house, but they botl declared that they liahw nothing of it. The next day he came there again; told them the number of ois note„ and begged- of them to stop it and let him know if they should have-it offered to them in the course of their 0u..„- nesS. The landlord chalked up the number in some conspicuous part, of his house. The loser also left notice at the *ink to stop it. Nothieg more •wai heard about itutitil a f<.tw days ago, when he ceived a letter informing him that it had been ten dered by a.respeaable Banking-house in the City.

Mr. Whilbreads Colletling Clerk attended; he gave the Defendant 'a most highly respeCtable'charaeter; he supposed both him and-his wife to be incapable of such an aatioil as that which was imputed to them, .and he did not think it probable that -if. they had a guilty mind in, the transaCtion they would have exposed thernseives to dete6tion. by giving it to him in payment, , as they knew that he uniformly narked every note which be took in the course of his-business. The Prose cutor said,' that he would have been satisfied of the innocence of the parties, if the amount of, his note had been paid him upon its being traced to the Do. fondant: : Under all the circumstance*, of the case, the Magistrate declared that he felt himself justified in sending it to be tried by a, Jury. , The publican then gave respeelable bail. to stand his trial at the next Sessions in the, Old Bailey.
